Package naming convention

Question

The typical case is that a package is prepended with a url, to prevent conflicts.

E.g. com.example.helloworld

What do you do with a multi-part TLD, e.g. co.nz?

1. co.nz.example.helloworld, or
2. nz.co.example.helloworld

Thoughts?

Answer 1

The convention is to write the domain name backwards, so it should be

nz.co.example.helloworld

This is explained in the Java tutorial.
